Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
Very nice work. And it's great that you can make such useful, practical items, too.
Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
Beautiful job on your sewing projects! They are all wonderful! I can make quilts but can't sew clothes to save my life!

I've been wanting to learn, but have trouble finding the time and the courage! I especially love the skirt and quilt top.

Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
I sewed a few bags during the summer:
This one was made from and old tea-towel
This from a woven table runner:
And the lining:
This went to England, for my daughter - sorry about the fuzzy picture, it was late in the evening. But this fabric - looks like leather but it is textile, mostly used for upholstery - does not photograph well anyway.
And the lining:
Two more, from the same fabric:
And the lining - I played a little with adding a bit of colour.
All these bags, except, of course, the one I sent to Eszter, are going to be on sale in my webshop.
I also made some teddy bears for a charity:

Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
Agi, these bags are brilliant You would not know this was a tea towel or place mat.
Upcycling is the way to go these days. You could make quite a good amount of money sewing these for craft fairs. They are great gifts. For someone who has not been sewing very long, you sure wouldn't know by looking at these. And what cutie bears.
Well done
Cheers

The bags are beautiful! It seems to me you are past that "learning to sew" stage. The teddy bears are adorable. They are so huggable. I love them!

Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
Agi those makes are all amazing!! I agree with Carole - if you're putting zips into things I think you've gone beyond learning to sew!

Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
I made a dress (started last year, made a mistake and sorted it out just now) and a pajama top - as a muslin for a t-shirt. I made a pattern from an old t-shirt of mine that I love but it is too worn now.

Re: Agi learning to sew: clothes and quilting attempts
I think you are some way past the "learning" phase. These are wonderful, especially the bags, which really show creativity and lateral thinking when using interesting materials.
